There was a big space in the center
of campus surrounded by a long oval
sidewalk lined with big American elms.

The Dutch elm disease was hurting them
pretty bad and they were doing all sorts
of research, not just on campus but around
the old part of town, trying to figure out
how to save them.

There was a big tree on my street
(Mason St.) that had a 5-gallon bucket
full of medicine beside it, and tubes going
from the bucket into needles that injected
the chemical under the bark.

If there are still large, deciduous
broadleaves there, they are probably American
elms (unless they got replaced by cottonwoods).

Who? Me?

I just happened to be the guy on the
free-throw line in the final seconds.

I think a look at the game stats will
show that I spent the last half of the
first half and the first half of the
last half down in the locker room,
getting my ankle taped.

All the credit goes to the team. I
wasn't nearlybout the high scorer.

Good game, though!

Rick,

You are right, it's a team sport.

Thanks for your "free-throws"!

I was considering a last minute push, but decided to defer to the rest of of the team.

Thanks for coming off the bench and making the last minute buckets!

Sincerely,
Robert Baty
